Ditto to the leaf blower. Its a must have. I have an Echo gas blower that is used for detailing. Drys cars about 90% after a wash and forces the water out of door jambs, gas gap doors, mirrors and front grills.

No, not at all. If youve just washed it, it should be clean. After drying with water I take the blower and start at the top and work my way down. Those two methods combined leave me with a nearly dry car.

I do the same thing, helps out a ton, and makes preventing water spots a breeze.

Only works well on waxed surfaces though, if your surface isnt waxed, it cant blow the beads off the paint.
